Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Seat belts
Filed Sep 5, 2000

I ONLY USED THE SOFA REAR SEAT OCCASIONALLY. HAD A CHILD USING IT LAST FRIDAY AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THE SEAT BELT CAME APART AND I FOUND THAT IT HAD BEEN PIECED TOGETHER WITH STAPLES. THE CONVERSION COMPANY REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER THEY FOUND OUT I ONLY HAD 14,000 MILES ON THE VAN, THAT AGREED TO SUPPLY THE PART, BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE LABOR. I HAVE HAD THE VAN FOR 4 YEARS, BUT PREVIOUSLY ONLY USED IT TO TRANSPORT A HANDICAPPED CHILD IN THE FRONT OR MIDDLE AREAS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE CHILD IN THE FAULTY SEAT BELT WAS NOT INJURED. I FEEL THAT THE CONVERSION COMPANY WHO INSTALLED THE BELT WAS NEGLIGENT AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INJURY.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
